[Redirecting to Laszlo-dev] An additional option would be to enforce svn:eol=native property on all text files added or imported. This could be done using a pre- commit hook. It would have the effect of requiring that every committer have auto-props turned on.
(Note that automatically setting svn:eol=native in the pre-commit hook is a bad idea, according to the svn book, since the committing client is then out of sync with the database. Subversion apparently doesn't recover well from this.) jim On Jun 12, 2006, at 9:50 PM, Jim Grandy wrote: > On Jun 12, 2006, at 6:13 PM, P T Withington wrote: > >> It seems to me that SVN does not handle line breaks correctly.
